I agree this is a show stopper for a lot of people. I have never had any issues with my system using NVIDIA until I switched my setup to how I described above. Before that I was using a VGA to DVI converter but then i noticed the weight of the VGA plug was pulling down on the port and I couldn't allow that.
I was so sure I had found the culprit to all the black screen on install problems. But I still think I will find what I reported actually effects alot of people. Just not you. not trying to stear you away from the open source drivers but im curious what the 270 nvidia drivers will do for you as you said you have issues with the ones immediately available to you threw ubuntu as well. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-current-modaliases nvidia-settings Then go to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers and make sure "Nvidia current" (you should already have this selected we are just making sure it is still. before we did the steps above it was using the 190 something version driver probably. Now it is using the 270 version. If current version is selected then restart (this is driver I am using after all issues with install) when pc comes back up you can check which driver is being used by running cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version do you have any of the above issues with this driver? also please copy and paste the output of cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version like i said im not trying to stear you away from the open source version. I just want to report if all issues are resolved using latest closed source driver. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/713867 Title: Live-CD and Installed Ubuntu freeze on boot with GeForce 210 / Nouveau -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
